TFW2005 member Red Goblin has shared with us some interesting pictures via the official Transformers Snapchat account from the set of Transformers: The Last Knight. These pictures show parts of indoor sets for the next Transformers film.

One picture shows alien writing on a wall that is not Cybertronian. This writing resembles the cuneiform writing used in many ancient Near Eastern cultures and, as Red Goblin suggests, may be the written language of the mysterious Creators hinted at in the last film.

The other picture shows a model of what appears to be a cave or similar geologic formation on an alien world. The cave model features giant bladed crystals and stalagmites and stalactites.

What world will these set pieces be a part of in the finished film? What do they mean? Sound off on the boards!

Fox 10 Phoenix is reporting that a fourteen mile stretch of the 303 Freeway in Arizona east of Phoenix will be closed in the upcoming days for filming of Transformers: The Last Knight, which is the fifth installment of the live action Transformers films directed by explosion entrepeneur Michael Bay. The freeway will be closed from 2 AM Friday to 11:30 PM Wednesday, which means that there will be five days of filming along this one stretch of road. What exactly will be filmed is unknown, but to shut down a freeway for five days suggests that there will be some extensive scene or scenes in the Arizona desert.

The video accompanying the article mentions Bumblebee as a Transformer that was spotted during recent filming in Arizona. It also mentions a possible returning character who has been strongly hinted at but not officially confirmed, so the following may be considered spoilers. The video shows footage of the Decepticon motorcycle and Decepticon Volkswagen and Decepticon police car, and it refers to the police car as Barricade. That very well may be speculation, but given that they interviewed someone who had been on set the evidence that the Decepticon police car will return is building.

Hopefully we will get some further information about this filming in Arizona, so keep checking TFW2005 for all of the latest Transformers 5 news!

The official Transformers: The Last KnightTwitter and Instagram accounts have recently posted a video as part of a viral marketing campaign for the fifth live-action Transformers film.

The page for the video features William Shakespeare‘s Macbeth quote, “Something wicked this way comes” (Act 4 Scene 1). The same quote was popularized recently as the tagline of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie) and shows a document from the United States State Department. The video features no spoken dialogue, but it does have a message in Morse code that reportedly translates to, “I’m coming for you, humans. May 31.“

The image also contains a file number and a torn out date: “File No. 21.63 Date:10….“

What is the meaning of this hidden message, and who is saying it? Will some major details get revealed May 31?

According to Granma newspaper, the shooting will take place in Havana by a small film crew and will not require road closures, so it should not cause disruption to normal city life.

Spoiler:

The scenes filmed in the Cuban capital, specifically in the area of the seafront and Old Havana will be part of a montage of shots in big cities of the world, to which, in post-production, robots will be digitally added to show how they have integrated into life on Earth.

Thanks to Snakas for sharing with us a picture of some non-transforming Gashapon Q-Transformers figures that will be available in June of this year. This set of toys includes five different characters: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee,Jazz, Arcee, and Lockdown. According to information shared by Snakas, these guys will run for 300 yen, and will be released under the Takara-Tomy ARTS label (same as the recent decoy / eraser figures). They are said to be around the same size as the regular Q-Transformers, but they have traded transformation for designs closer to the animation, and five points of articulation – neck, both shoulders, and both elbows.
